London close: Weak Eurozone manufacturing data drag shares lower

Mon, 03rd Nov 2014 15:24

Weak European manufacturing data dragged London shares lower on Monday despite a rise in the sector's fortunes in the UK.The Eurozone Markit manufacturing purchasing managers' index (PMI) for October fell to 50.6 from 50.7 previously with both Germany and Italy declining while France improved slightly.British manufacturing PMI broke its recent run of falls, jumping to 53.2 in October from a 17-month low of 51.5 in September, but the recovery was based largely on domestic demand.Although growth of incoming new business accelerated to a three-month high during the month, led by solid gains in new work from domestic clients, new export orders fell for the second straight month.Economists at Capital Economics said: "October's Markit/CIPS manufacturing survey provided some tentative signs that the sector's recovery regained some momentum at the beginning of the fourth quarter. However, it will remain up to the services sector to drive overall growth in the near term."Downbeat corporate news from banks also had an impact on the FTSE 100 Index, which closed 58.5 points adrift at 6487.97.Banks dragged the Footsie lower after a small increase in third quarter profits at HSBC missed City expectations.David Madden at spread-betting firm IG said fines for alleged FX manipulation and more provisions for apparent mis-selling of PPI "goes to show that Europe's largest bank isn't without its flaws."Shares in HSBC dropped 11.6p to 627.9p, Royal Bank of Scotland lost 7.8p to 380.2p and Barclays was off 3.8p at 237p.At the other end of the scale, airlines were leading the risers after good news from Ryanair, which raised its annual profit guidance significantly.Easyjet led the gains with a 40p lift to 1540p, TUI Travel was up 7.4p at 406p and BA and Iberia owner IAG flew higher by 5.1p to 414.3p.Supermarkets were having a good day after a wave of bad news in the last few weeks, with Morrisons up 0.3p to 155.1p ahead of its update on Thursday. Tesco gained 0.15p to 173.75p, but Sainsbury's backtracked 0.9p to 244.6p.But other retailers were on the slide including Primark owner Associated British Foods, which reports annual results on Tuesday. ABF's shares were 83p down at 2671p, B&Q and Brico Depot owner Kingfisher reversed 7p to 295.5p and Dixons Carphone dipped 6.3p to 388.9p.Market MoverstechMARK 2,765.74 -0.47%FTSE 100 6,487.97 -0.89%FTSE 250 15,453.15 -0.31%FTSE 100 - RiserseasyJet (EZJ) 1,540.00p +2.67%Petrofac Ltd.
